I guess I'm giving the alternative viewpoint here, but I actually really enjoyed this movie. It's a "found footage" style of movie. So, yes, it's a bit cliche in that sense (frankly, it's been overdone) and it's a genre I've honestly never been especially fond of, but I thought this was one of the better ones I've seen.
It's essentially a two-person movie following Samantha (Summer Bellessa) and Chris (Nathan Riley.) They're two BFFs essentially who decide to shoot some videos together. I thought from the start that they both came across as likable characters. They begin a road trip (with a third companion - Samantha's brother) shooting the video of their adventures, and while driving they come across a car wanted in an amber alert for the kidnapping of a little girl and decide to follow it. The story proceeds from there.
Yes, there are a few times when it's a bit tedious - because it is three people out for a drive basically - but you always know what's happening and that was enough to hold my attention. Some think Bellessa's performance was a bit over the top but I'm not sure about that. How would any of us behave or react in the same circumstances? The tension slowly mounts, and the ultimate climax of the movie is sudden and shocking and dramatic.
Bellessa's husband Kerry directed the movie, and Kerry and Summer were also co-producers. I thought they did a pretty good job and I enjoyed the movie.
